matbrat5-Tyler, just wanted to say take advantage of the 3 years you have left - hope you are back at states next year!

So are the seymore coaches first year coaches? But what is meant by "volunteer" coaches, just need clarification please. walkenvol I do not think what you stated is the same thing as what the jackal was trying to say. Maybe jackal should have changed his example. 5 wrestlers were entered in a wrestling tournament out of state. Their flight was scheduled to leave at 7:10. The coach who was driving them to the airport did not get them there until 7:20 and the passengers had already boarded the plane and the plane was ready for take off. The kids missed their flight. Not their fault, but in doing so they missed their chance to wrestle in this out of state tournament. From what I have been reading on the forums, was seymore the only team that had an issue with the weigh-in process? Adults in charge of transporting the teams, whomever they are, should be aware of the procedures, the check-in times, the rules, etc. and be willing to accept the huge responsibility and accountability that goes with it. Again, I think it is terrible that those wrestlers did not get to compete at state.

All 14 kids placed! That is awesome!

Is the weigh-in procedure at the state tournament different than the weigh-ins for regionals and other tournaments? walkenvol, what school was the first year volunteer coach with. I did not know there was another school who arrived late for weigh-ins.

why does it always seem that a team from Chattanooga wins the state title every year?

matbrat5- if your wrestlers were in the building, how come they were not allowed to weigh-in? the reason why i am asking is i would hate this to happen to any of our wrestlers. our coach told our kids that when their weight class is called, they need to be in the weigh-in room because once the wrestlers report, no one is allowed to enter the weigh-in room. he said it has something to do with wrestling trying to cut down on weight cutting. good luck down the road matbrat5...

where can results of these matches be found?

how come seymour's coaches were the only coaches that did not know where to pick up the passes? how are the coaches supposed to know this information? did the tssaa do something different this year or is this a problem every year? i just think it is terrible that those wrestlers did not get to compete because they did not have their tournament passes.

Region I did very well! Greeneville kids looked good and the Science Hill kids as well.

States should be a double elimination event. Just start the event earlier on Thursday.

Felix and Manson were very dominate at States! I hope they both go to the national high school tournament. I think they will place there.

rcpatriot, is that what happened with the seymour wrestlers they did not have their tournament passes? Did this happen to any other wrestlers or only the Seymour wrestlers? There has to be a way to get the passes to the kids before weigh-ins begin. How did the other teams get in to weigh-in?

i heard that the Seymour wrestlers did not have their tournament passes and that is why security would not let them enter the arena.
